Yeah, Azure, I also think my point is not getting across there ... I'm saying he seems pretty enthused with the idea of the death penalty, that his philosophy does not seem to fit my understanding of Christianity which is (to me) at the core all about trying to follow Christ's path. I don't see Jesus Christ as presented in the bible being all like "Yeah man, they have no right to live! Light 'em up man! Who cares if it's the wrong guy!" I'm not 100% up on my bible reading, but wasn't the criminal beside Jesus at Golgotha who asked for (and received) his forgiveness a murderer?
